Hey MP-CA-CV,



Thanks for posting your question in Apple Support Communities.



Migration Assistant usually requires the login password of your Mac in order to migrate data. The password it is asking for is likely the password you use to open your old Mac whenever you power it on. If you do not know what this password is you can try resetting it using the steps in this article: If you forgot your Mac login password.
